A nationally recognized Orland Park community awareness organization is holding a public event to observe September being National Recovery Month.

The Orland Park Substance Awareness Forum (OPSAF) was created to convene a multi-disciplinary group of community stakeholders to initiate, develop and establish community-wide sustainable resources and support for persons and their families dealing with substance abuse and addiction. The group's goal is to create awareness, provide resources and information in support of the Orland Park community.

The group's Treatment and Recovery Committee will mark September as National Recovery Month and host a free screening of the documentary, "The Anonymous People."

The screening will be held at Orland Park's Marcus Theatres, 16350 South LaGrange Road, on Wednesday, September 27 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

In June, 2017, the Orland Park Substance Awareness Forum received national recognition for its efforts receiving the City Livability Award from the United States Conference of Mayors.

Admission is free for the September 27 movie. The evening also includes free popcorn and pop, raffle prizes and time for discussion.
